EXTRACTING THREAD OUTER DIA FROM CALLOUT

[metin_mehel]

HELLO


IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXTRACTING THREAD OUTER DIA FROMA THREADCALLOUT?


FOR EXAMPLE YOU HAVE ASTRING TYPE PARAMETER WHIC IS THREAD='M12X1.25'


ANOTHER PARAMETER IS REAL TYPE AND OUTER_DIA=EXTRACT(THREAD,2,2)


IT DOES NOT WORK BECAUSE WHILE LEFT SIDE ISREAL AND THE RIGH IS STRING.


HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE TO CONVERT A STRING VALUE INTO A REAL NUMBER

Youcan show dims and notes of the thread and in addition to the thread callout the diameters will also show.

Did anyone know the answer??


I've extracted a string number ie.


test=extract(rel_model_name,8,1) /* test equals 5


I now want to multiply test * <real number>


l=test*(1/32)


I get this error message;


Invalid data type combination at right side of expression!


I know I need to convert the string "5" to a real number, how can I do that?


Thanks

You can only convert integers to string itos(int).


You can't convert strings to numbers.
